revvvolution

After all these girly manicures, I wanted to go with something darker. I decided to go with Color Club "Revvvolution" because the sun would show off the holo factor. So pretty.  

I lucked out with the fact that my "Revvvolution" is holo because there are two versions of it, old and new. The old is holo but the new one isn't. I ordered online, not knowing this, but thankfully mine is holo. So, if you order just be aware! Scrangie has a nice holo pic of it. I might shake my bottle more before I use it next time. I think some of the holo pigment may have settled down to the bottom.

I added "gLORIous" (holo top coat) to my middle and ring fingers to compare. It is a stronger linear holo with it. It's gorgeous but it takes away from how unique "Revvvolution" is plus is lightens ups the grey. It is gorgeous though, of course!

Ultimately, I painted over the "gLORIous" and just wore "Revvolution" on its own. I think it's a gorgeous polish. I like how the holo is more scattered and very golden. I prefer it with out topcoat but I wanted to add this cute bow so I had to add it.

 Here you can see the holo a bit better.

 Then I added CC "Covered in Diamonds" which has multicoloured flakes of various sizes. It's so pretty. It reminds me of stained glass.

I discovered the macro shot after these pics were taken. It makes a huge difference though so my nail pictures will be much better in the future now that I can get all up close and personal.  Here's one I took (I was in the middle of taking off this mani)

Oh a note on these bows. I had them on for three days but they weren't budging so I'm sure they would have stayed on for a long time. For application, I dabbed some clear polish onto my nail then pressed the ribbon down onto it. Then I covered it and the entire nail with a coat of clear polish.  I removed it with remover.  I can actually re-use them but the remover took off the gold colour so now they are just clear, hehe.
